HERE ARE A COUPLE OF POEMS WRITTEN FOR MY DAD   MY DAD (LEWIE) THE FIRST ONE IS WRITTEN BY MY NIECE JADE WHO ALSO WROTE SHANE'S POEM.. GRANDFATHER You have moved away and left our lives, but you will never leave our hearts, you will stay there forever, and that's what counts. That's where all the love starts. Days have gone, months have passed, but a bit of you is still here you in our hearts, and that's what counts, that's where all the love starts I've been on journey's but they're never the same without me knowing your here The laughter you had's still in my heart as I remember the fun we once had. You've gone to heaven to a better place but your eyes still look down on us. Your in our hearts and that's what counts that's where all the love starts. We know you've gone your life has passed but our memories won't fade. Your in our hearts. and that's what counts that's where all the love starts..   THIS NEXT POEM WAS WRITTEN  BY A FRIEND OF MY SISTER. LEW When I came into the world you cradled my indivduality in large hands as gently as though a dove I looked at you and knew a man who would fill all spaces with love When I stretched my wings and grew you breathed laughter into the rhythm of my steps always heard my call reached out in empathy to steady me rolicked with your grandchildren filling the spaces still When you left my world you breathed into my heart and left a strange perfection There are no longer spaces only strenghth and laughter understanding and love.   MY DAUGHTER WROTE THIS WHEN .
